Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi CLH5 is a conductive level probe designed for precise liquid level detection in industrial applications. This probe features a durable polypropylene housing and five electrodes, enabling up to four distinct level control points for filling or emptying operations. The CLH5 is compatible with Carlo Gavazzi CLD/P series controllers, allowing flexible integration into existing systems. Its modular design permits electrodes to be extended or cut to length, accommodating tanks of varying depths. The probe operates reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to 90°C and is rated IP65 for protection against dust and water ingress. Screw terminals facilitate easy connection and extension of probes, simplifying installation and maintenance. Typical applications include level control and flow detection in agriculture, chemical processing, food and beverage production, water distribution, and water treatment facilities. The polypropylene construction ensures chemical resistance, making it suitable for corrosive environments. With a standard electrode length of 1 meter, the CLH5 provides a cost-effective solution for multi-point liquid level monitoring.
